Hmmm...I started a thread earlier in the week about the same. I didn't have the chance to enter...but I was very curious because of the way the whole deal kicked off.

Maybe they felt the entries "sucked," in their words (and minds)? Maybe they're falling back on their additional 2 weeks clause in the rules?

Ken?

Anyone?

Bueller?

Bueller?

WebQuest Contest Update

We DID select a winner last week. He's actually in the process of getting us all the files, etc. We hope to post the completed tour and announce the winners name later this week.

Everyone won! Riverdale got the cash, we got a cool design and we found several new designers that we plan to do more biz with.....AND we got to see SleazyDream eat his ate!

Stay tuned.....winner will be announced within a few days.

Young Hefner · 11-04-2002, 04:05 PM

Ken,

Thanks for the compliments.

I am a bit confused however (as I suspect other designers who entered the contest may also be) and sincerely hope that you can shed some light on a few points:

From your post above it seems that this was the first time that you had seen my design, yet I submitted it on 10/5 well before the first deadline. According to your rules, the deadline was only going to be extended if you did not find a design that you liked...

"But for those that don't know me......we would be glad to GAURANTEE that there WILL be a winner. If we don't have a design we like within the two week period, we'll extend it another week or two until there is a winner....period."

However, the deadline was extended (despite the fact that you are now stating that you liked my design) specifically to give extra time to individuals who did not crank out their designs to honor the original deadline...

"We've decided to extend the deadline for our design contest until October 25th. We have had several very nice designs already submitted, but we've also had a lot of people asking us for extensions. We'll definitely pick a winner following this deadline, so please get your submissions in asap!"

The rules implied that the tours submitted to the contest had to be received complete, yet you stated above...

Why haven't you posted the winning design and/or announced the winner despite the fact that you did not have any hesitiation publicly offering me 2nd place?...

If you really like my design enough to offer me 2nd place, then why not honor your original announcements...

"if we like more than one design, there could be multiple winners." and "First....my post was OBVIOUSLY sarcastic as I fully expect to get plenty of great submissions, of which I'm sure we'll use at LEAST 1 design and like I said....we could very well use more than that."

Or at least offer the amount that you "normally" pay for a tour of this sort...

"We could easily have a top notche design done for 2k-3k by Sharky or one of the other great design firms, but decided to spend more in exchange for some variety and to see some design work that might be unique compared to what's currently on the market...." and "Actually, we're not banking on the big design firms to participate. We already throw a lot of business their way each and every month. If we wanted them to do it, we would pay our 2-3k and be done with it. We're hoping to get some unique work from individuals or smaller design companies who are up and comers!"

After all...

"The reason there has been so much support for us throughout this thread is that everyone who has ever done business with us knows we treat people more than fair and we are not in the business of trying to take advantage of people or take short cuts. We've never stiffed anyone for anything....ever.....and we're not going to start now. Do we want to see a lot of variety? YES
Are we willing to pay for it? YES "

One only has to look at the original announcement thread to illustrate how easily statements can be misinterpreted, so rather than make assumptions, I sincerely welcome your clarification.

Ken · 11-05-2002, 11:29 AM

designympo,

Oh boy....here we go again

You're right. I did not see your design until yesterday. That's because I was not the one reveiewing all of the tours that were submitted. I simply asked my crew to send me their top three picks out of all the submissions. I then choose the one that I liked the best.

We extended the deadline because at the time of the original deadline, my guys informed me that we had only recevied a a few submissions and that they had received several requests for more time. Extending the deadline was a no brianer and since we reserved the right to do so in the begining, I don't see where this is an issue.

The winning design was submitted "complete", in that the tour was done to our satisfaction at the time of submission. However, we did ask for a few changes to be made (different models, etc), which is why it took a little longer for us to get the finished product.

We didn't have an official "2nd place". I was simply making that up on the fly because I thought your design was pretty cool and that you wouldn't mind getting $1,000 instead of nothing. Honestly, I don't even know if we would use it as I'm sure we'll use the winning design for quite some time.

I think the $1,000 is more than fair, considering that we don't NEED a second tour right now and we are giving $5,000 to the winning tour, as promised.

If you don't want the cash....fine by me. I was just trying to give a little credit to you for a nice design

George_R · 11-06-2002, 07:39 AM

Ohhh... being with the last three is better than I thought

And thanks for the compliments everyone!

Ken, If you're desperately looking to get rid of those $1000, I'd be more than happy to get it off your hands

Ken,

I sincerely appreciate your frank reply. Honestly, this isn't about the money as much as the point I am trying to make.

I am suggesting that it appears a member of your crew consciously prevented you from seeing my entry, not based on merit but due to personal reasons. I believe, as evidenced by your compliments on the design and offer to give me a prize for 2nd place despite never having seen it prior to now, that someone knew you would in fact like the design and may have awarded me the prize prior to extending the original deadline.

I am making this point because up until very recently I was a key member of your crew. For over a year and a half I gave 200%, working candidly and dilligently in the best interest of your company. There are two sides to every story, and I'm sure you heard one.

My point is that this situation illustrates that those entrusted to act on your behalf in the best interest of your company, perhaps are not always doing so. I wish that we had had more opportunities to work directly together because I have found you, as demonstrated by your actions on this board, to be honorable and just. I sincerely hope that we will have a chance to work more closely in the future.

Regards,
Daniel

Daniel,

Good to see you out and about!

I assure you that your design was NOT kept from me for personal reasons.

A LOT of designs were submitted and I only asked for the top 3 to look at. There were probably several others that I "might" have liked, but I only asked for the best three in the opinion of some of our staff members.

The fact is, that the member of my crew that I think you are referring to, had nothing to do with this contest and did not see any of the submissions.....

I understand your concerns, but what you described above simply is not true.....
